Don't Let This Happen to You

The Top 5 Medicare Mistakes That Cost People Dearly

These are the most common — and most expensive — errors Martha sees every day. A few minutes of guidance can save you thousands.

01

Signing Up for Part B at 65 When You Have Primary Employer Coverage

If your employer plan is primary, enrolling in Part B right away means paying unnecessary premiums — sometimes for years. Knowing which coverage is primary changes everything.

02

Not Signing Up for Part B When Employer Coverage Is Secondary to Medicare

The flip side is just as costly. When Medicare is primary and you skip Part B, your employer plan may refuse to pay — leaving you with massive out-of-pocket bills.

03

Getting Stuck With Lifetime Late Enrollment Penalties

Miss your enrollment window and Medicare adds a permanent penalty to your monthly premium — for life. These penalties are avoidable with the right timing guidance.

04

Forgetting to Pay Part B Premiums

Medicare can and will drop your coverage if premiums go unpaid. Many people don't realize premiums aren't automatic — and losing coverage mid-year is a nightmare to fix.

05

Choosing the Wrong Plan During Open Enrollment

Picking a plan based on the lowest premium without understanding networks, drug formularies, and out-of-pocket maximums can cost far more in the long run.

Not sure if you're making one of these mistakes? Martha can review your situation — free, no pressure.
